Abstract: A digital coding apparatus of the present invention consists of a transform circuit, a variable-length coding circuit, and a fixed-length data generating circuit. The transform circuit performs a discrete cosine transform with respect to inputted image data and generates a DCT coefficient from a DC coefficient and AC coefficients. The variable-length coding circuit codes the DC coefficient and AC coefficients to a DC code and AC codes. The fixed-length data generating circuit generates a leading item of fixed-length data from the above DC code and a leading portion of the above AC codes, while sequentially generating items of fixed-length data other than the leading one from the remaining portion of the above AC codes. Consequently, the process of storing the DC code in the fixed-length data and the process of storing the AC codes in the fixed-length data can be performed collectively by pipeline processing.

Abstract: A flexible and efficient integrated circuit chip (100) that includes pad drivers (101) for driving an impedance of a transmission line, wherein the integrated circuit further includes all additional circuitry to automatically adjust a matching impedance of the pad drivers. The integrated circuit chip includes a set of selectively activatable pad drivers (101) and a counter (103) coupled with the drivers for selectively activating an initial number of members of the set of the pad drivers to drive the transmission line with a test pulse. The integrated circuit chip further includes a comparator (105) having a first input for sensing a voltage amplitude of the test pulse and a second input coupled with a voltage reference for comparing the voltage amplitude of the test pulse with the reference voltage. An output of the comparator is coupled with the counter for increasing the counter's initial number of selected members of the set of the pad drivers if the voltage amplitude of the test pulse is less than the reference voltage. Such iterative capabilities of the invention provide an automatic optimal selection of the pad drivers, so that the parallel impedance of the activated drivers provides a good match with the impedance of the transmission line.

Abstract: When fully closed throttle opening learning device
M1 learns a fully closed throttle opening value THMIN on
the basis of an actual throttle opening value TH at an idle
running time, comparison device M2 compares the sum of the
fully closed throttle opening value THMIN and a
predetermined value α with the actual throttle opening
value TH to decide the possibility of the occurrence of
a fault, and fault decision acceptance device M3 decides
the acceptance/rejection of execution of the fault
decision of an idle revolution controlling unit IC on the
basis of the comparison result of the comparison device
M2. As a result, even with a degradation in the output
characteristics of a throttle opening sensor, an
erroneous decision can be avoided by rejecting the
execution of the fault decision when there is a
possibility of an erroneous decision.

Abstract: A segmented computer network (100) has a plurality of segments
(110,120) branching off from a router (104). Each segment (110,120) has
a plurality of computer terminals (114..., 124...) connected to it. The router
(104) functions to direct commands for terminals issued from a network
management station (102) to the appropriate segment and contains a
routing table giving the network addresses of the terminals. The routing
table is periodically updated. A user terminal can be put into a power-saving
suspend mode, in which case its network address will be deleted
from the routing table at a subsequent update and it may not receive a
wake-up signal. To prevent such a failure each segment includes a proxy
terminal (112, 122) to receive wake-up requests intended for terminals in
its segment which are in suspend mode. Network addresses of terminals
in suspend mode are not deleted from proxy terminals (112,122).
